Forwarding Looking Statements This presentation only speaks at the date hereof and contains, and related discussions may contain, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. These statements include descriptions regarding the intent, belief, estimates, assumptions or current expectations of the Company or its officers with respect to the consolidated results of operations and financial condition, future events and plans of the Company. These forward-looking statements may be identified by a reference to a future period or by the use of forward-looking terminology. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "expect", "believe", "foresee", "anticipate”, "intend", "estimate", "goal", "strategy", "plan", "target" and "project" or conditional verbs such as "will", "may", "should", "could" or "would" or the negative of these terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon management's current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company's control. Such expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections are expressed in good faith, and management believes there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. We are experiencing significant changes within the mortgage lending and servicing ecosystem which have magnified such uncertainties. In the past, actual results have differed from those suggested by forward-looking statements and this may happen again. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward- looking statements include, but are not limited to, our performance, capabilities, strategy, and outlook; our expectations regarding the sustainability of our rapid growth and our ability to manage our growth effectively; the demand for our solutions and products and services we offer, including the size of our addressable market, market share, and market trends; our ability to operate under and maintain our business model; our ability to develop and protect our brand; our expectations regarding financial performance including our operational and financial targets; our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and our need for additional financing; the degree of business and financial risk associated with certain of our loans; the high volatility in, or any inaccuracies in the estimates of, the value of our assets; any changes in macro-economic conditions and in U.S. residential real estate market conditions, including changes in prevailing interest rates or monetary policies and the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; our expectations regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business including on the volume of consumers refinancing existing loans, our ability to produce loans, liquidity and employees; our competitive position; our ability to improve and expand our information technology and financial infrastructure, security and compliance requirements and operating and administrative systems; our future investments in our technology and operations; our intellectual property position, including our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property; the need to hire additional personnel and our ability to attract and retain such personnel; our ability to obtain additional capital and maintain cash flow or obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us; the effects of our existing and future indebtedness on our liquidity and our ability to operate our business; our expectations concerning relationships with third parties; our plans to adopt the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"); the impact of laws and regulations and our ability to comply with such laws and regulations including laws and regulations relating to fair lending, real estate brokerage matters, title and settlement services, consumer protection, advertising, tax, title insurance, loan production and servicing activities, data privacy, and anti-corruption; any changes in certain U.S. government-sponsored entities and government agencies, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the FHA; our expectations regarding the period during which we will qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; the increased expenses associated with being a public company; and our anticipated use of our existing resources and the proceeds from the business combination. 2#3Disclaimer Better Forward Looking Statements There may be other risks not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results to differ materially. Analysis and opinions contained in this document may be based on assumptions that, if altered, can change the analysis or opinions expressed. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this presentation, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this presentation will be achieved, and you are cautioned not to place substantial weight or undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, the Company disclaims any obligation, except as required by law, to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Use of Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial Metrics This presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures provide supplemental information that we believe helps investors better understand our business, our business model and how we analyze our performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures improve investors' and analysts' ability to compare our results with those of our competitors and other similarly situated companies, which commonly disclose similar performance measures. However, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies. Further, although we use these non-GAAP measures to assess the financial performance of our business, these measures exclude certain substantial costs related to our business, and investors are cautioned not to use such measures as a substitute for financial results prepared according to GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our financial results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to the closest comparable GAAP measures, see the Appendix hereto. Use of Projections This information includes certain statements and estimates provided by the Company with respect to the projected future performance of the Company. Such statements, estimates and projections reflect various assumptions by management concerning possible anticipated results, which assumptions may or may not be correct. No representations are made as to the accuracy of such statements, estimates or projections. You will be expected to have conducted your own due diligence investigation regarding these and all other matters pertinent to Better. Use of Data The data contained herein is derived from various internal and external sources we believe to be reliable. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein. Accordingly, any liability in respect of the information contained herein or in respect of this presentation (including in respect of direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage) is expressly disclaimed. Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance, and the Company disclaims any obligation, except as required by law, to update or revise the information in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 3#4Today's Presenters Thor Björgólfsson Chairman of the Board One of the most pre-eminent investors in the Global TMT Industry • Iceland's first billionaire Chairman of Novator Capital Extensive investment track record: • Founder, PLAY in Poland • Founder, WOM S.A. in Chile CCP (computer games) Actavis (now Allergan) NYU's Stern School of Business - On the School's Board of Overseers for the past 8 years Better Arnaud Massenet Chief Executive Officer Prabhu Narasimhan Chief Investment Officer • • • GRIP Co-founder (Artificial Intelligence) • Virtual Conferences Matchmaking Depury.com - Co-Founder and Director Online contemporary art platform Net-a-porter (1999-2010) - Co-founder & Director South West Capital (2007) - Founder of hedge fund focused on real asset investments • • Lehman Brothers (2003-07) - Founder of Lehman Brothers' corporate derivatives group • Lehman Brothers (1998-2003) - Co-Head European Derivatives Sales • • Morgan Stanley (1994-98) - European Equity Derivatives Group Lincoln International Business School (Paris) - B.A. de PURY Morgan Stanley NET-A-PORTER Mayer Brown, White & Case and Baker McKenzie - over 15 years as a lawyer and partner Novator Capital - Co-founder Multi-asset investment fund with a developed markets focus Baker McKenzie London - Founder of Alternative Capital practice.

Subject: Just Wanted to Say Thanks. "This is my first experience shopping for a house. I used other online mortgage companies, but found that your company's portal was much easier to use and I was able to increase my budget by $30,000 due to the better 30 year fixed rate you pre-approved me for (compared to the other companies where I was pre-approved). This makes a huge difference to my family and myself as we can now afford to shop for houses in better school zones with shorter commutes to my work. Keep it up, it is companies like yours that are starting to turn the tide and restore sanity to the finance industry" Ocala, Florida Local Lender House 1.

Our business and operations have experienced rapid growth, and if we do not appropriately manage future growth, if any, or are unable to improve our systems, processes and controls, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, could be materially and adversely affected. 2. Our recent growth may not be indicative of our future growth, and we may not be able to maintain our revenue growth rate in the future. Our growth also makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful. 3. We have a history of operating losses and may not maintain profitability in the future. 4. We may not be able to continue to grow our loan production business or effectively manage significant increases in our loan production volume, both of which could materially and adversely affect our reputation and business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 5. We depend on our ability to sell loans and MSRs in the secondary market to a limited number of loan purchasers and to government-sponsored enterprises and other secondary market participants for each relevant product. If our ability to sell loans and MSRs is impaired, our ability to produce loans and related MSRs may also be materially and adversely affected. 6. We depend on financial services websites, search engines, social media platforms and other online sources to drive traffic to our website, and if we fail to appear prominently in the search results or fail to drive traffic through other forms of advertising, our traffic would decline and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, could be materially and adversely affected, and as we grow our customer acquisition costs may continue to rise. 7. We rely on our own models and market information to manage risk and to make business decisions. Our business could be materially and adversely affected if those models fail to produce reliable and/or valid results or such market information is out of date or unreliable. 8. Our growth depends, in part, on the success of our strategic relationships with third-parties. 9. The COVID-19 pandemic poses unique challenges to our business and the effects of the pandemic could materially and adversely impact our ability to produce loans, sales into secondary markets, our liquidity, and our team members. 10. Our risk management policies, procedures and techniques may not be sufficient to identify all of the risks to which we are exposed, and failure to identify such risks could result in substantial losses and disruption to our business operations. 11. We may be required to repurchase loans or MSRs that we have sold or indemnify purchasers of our loans or MSRs. 12. A substantial portion of our assets are measured at fair value, including our MSRs which are highly volatile. Fair value determinations require many assumptions and complex analyses, and we cannot control many of the underlying factors. If our estimates prove to be incorrect, we may be required to write down the value of such assets, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 13. Our MSRs are highly volatile assets with continually changing values, and these changes in value could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 14. We are required to make servicing advances that can be subject to delays in recovery or may not be recoverable in certain circumstances. 15. We may be subject to liability in connection with the applications for loans we deliver to another lender in our capacity as a private label loan producer or mortgage broker, or leads we provide to other real estate brokers in our capacity as a real estate broker. 16. Our real estate brokerage services expose us to additional risks. 17. Our hedging strategies may not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with changes in interest rates. 18. We may not be able to hire, train and retain qualified personnel to support our growth, and difficulties with hiring, team member training and other labor issues could materially and adversely affect our ability to implement our business objectives and disrupt our operations. 19. If we cannot maintain our corporate culture, we could lose the innovation, collaboration and focus on the mission that contribute to our business. 20. Loss of our key management could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 21. Our CEO and founder is involved in ongoing litigation related to prior business activities that includes at least one allegation about Better that alleges (among other things) that he breached his fiduciary duties (including by misappropriation of intellectual property or trade secrets), misappropriated business funds and failed to file tax returns. This litigation could divert his attention from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation. Although Better is not currently party to such litigation, at least one plaintiff has sought permission to add us as a defendant and has alleged that we have used unspecified, misappropriated trade secrets. If we were to become involved it could have a significant cost and divert resources and the attention of our CEO and other members of our executive management from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation that, together with the outcome of such litigation if resolved unfavorably, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 22. Operating and growing our business may require additional capital, and if capital is not available to us, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, may suffer. 23. Acquisitions and strategic alliances could distract management and expose us to financial, execution and operational risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 24. We are, and may in the future be, subject to litigation or other disputes. If the outcomes of these proceedings are adverse to us, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 25. Exposure to additional tax liabilities could affect our future profitability. 26. Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income is subject to certain limitations. Better 39#40Summary of Risks Risks Related to Our Market, Industry, and General Economic Conditions 27. Our revenues are highly dependent on macroeconomic and U.S. residential real estate market conditions. 28. Our business is highly dependent on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and certain other U.S. government agencies, and any changes in these entities or their current roles could be detrimental to our business. 29. Our business is significantly impacted by interest rates. Changes in prevailing interest rates or U.S. monetary policies that affect interest rates may have a detrimental effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 30. Our business is subject to the seasonality of loan production, and historical patterns of loan production may be disrupted due to various social, political and economic factors which could have a negative impact on our business. 31. Changes in the GSEs' or the FHA's requirements could materially and adversely affect our business. 32. Failure to comply with underwriting guidelines of GSES or non-GSE loan purchasers or insurers/guarantors could adversely impact our business. 33. Some of our borrowings under finance and warehouse lines expose us to interest rate risk because of variable rates of interest that could negatively impact the financing of our business. 34. A disruption in the secondary home loan market or our ability to sell the loans that we produce could have a detrimental effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 35. Challenges to the Mortgage Electronic Registration System could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 36. We have operations in India that could be adversely affected by changes in political or economic stability or by government policies in the U.S., India or globally. 37. We are exposed to volatility in LIBOR and SOFR, which can result in higher than market interest rates and may have a detrimental effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 38. Changes in tax laws may materially and adversely affect us, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court may disagree with tax positions taken by us, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, or the value of our common stock. 39. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the lending industry generally and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 40. Our reported financial results may be materially and adversely affected by future changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 41. Our business is subject to the risks of catastrophic events such as earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural catastrophic events, interruption by man-made issues such as strikes and terrorist attacks. Risks Related to Our Products and Our Customers 42. Our success and ability to grow our business depend on retaining and expanding our customer base. If we fail to add new customers, our business, financial condition or operating results, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. 43. We are, and intend to continue, developing new product offerings and our failure to accurately predict their demand or growth could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 44. Certain of our loans to customers involve a high degree of business and financial risk, which can result in substantial losses that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 45. We face intense competition that could materially and adversely affect us. 46. Fraud could result in significant financial losses and harm to our reputation. 47. The "Better" brand may not become as widely known as incumbents' brands, the brand may become tarnished, and we could receive negative public opinion, all of which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our earnings. 48. We are subject to significant legal and reputational risks and expenses relating to the privacy, use, and security of customer information. 49. Better Settlement Services, LLC's position as an agent utilizing third party vendors for issuing a significant amount of title insurance policies could adversely impact the frequency and severity of title claims. 50. The geographic concentration of our loan productions may adversely affect our retail lending business, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Better 40#41Summary of Risks Risks Related to Our Technology and Intellectual Property 51. The success and growth of our business will depend upon our ability to adapt to and implement technological changes. 52. Technology disruptions or failures, including a failure in our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties with whom we do business, including data centers and internet service providers, could disrupt our business, cause legal or reputational harm and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 53. Our products use third party software, hardware and services that may be difficult to replace or cause errors or failures of our products that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects. 54. Cyberattacks and other data and security breaches could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 55. Some aspects of our platform include open source software and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source licenses could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 56. We could be materially and adversely affected if we inadequately obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights and may encounter disputes from time to time relating to our use of the intellectual property of third parties. 57. Our business is dependent on our intellectual property. If our intellectual property rights or our protection and enforcement of them is inadequate to protect our competitive advantages, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. 58. We may not be able to enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world. 59. If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected. Risks Related to Our Indebtedness 60. Debt obligations could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 61. Our business relies on our warehouse lines to fund loans and otherwise operate our business. If one or more of such facilities are terminated or otherwise become unavailable for us to use, we may be unable to find replacement financing at commercially favorable terms, or at all, which could be detrimental to our business. 62. If the value of the collateral underlying certain of our warehouse lines decreases, we could be required to satisfy a margin call, and an unanticipated margin call could have a material and adverse effect on our liquidity. 63. Our ability to meet our payment obligations under our debt facilities depends on our ability to generate significant cash flows or obtain external financing in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain external financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Risks Related to Regulatory Environment 64. We operate in a heavily regulated industry and our loan production and servicing activities, real estate brokerage activities, title and settlement services activities and homeowners insurance agency activities expose us to risks of noncompliance with an increasing and, at times, inconsistent body of complex laws and regulations at the U.S. federal, state and local levels. 65. If we do not obtain and maintain the appropriate state licenses, we will not be allowed to produce or service loans in some states, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 66. The CFPB continues to be active in its monitoring of the loan production and servicing sectors, and its recently issued rules increase our regulatory compliance burden and associated costs. 67. The state regulatory agencies, as well as other federal agencies and loan purchasers, continue to be active in their supervision of the loan production and servicing sectors and the results of these examinations may be detrimental to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 68. If we are unable to comply with the TILA/RESPA Integrated Disclosure, or TRID, rules, our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected and our plans to expand our lending business could be materially and adversely impacted. 69. If we consummate this offering prior to receiving all regulatory approvals, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, could be materially and adversely affected. 70. The executive, legislative and regulatory response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the passage of the CARES Act, poses new and quickly evolving compliance obligations on our business, and we may experience unfavorable changes in or failure to comply with existing or future regulations and laws adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 71. Federal and state laws regulate our strategic relationships with third parties and affiliates; a determination that we have failed to comply with such laws could require restructuring of the relationships and/or diminish the value of these relationships. 72. We are subject to laws and regulations regarding our use of telemarketing; a failure to comply with such laws, including the TCPA, could increase our operating costs and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 73. If new laws and regulations lengthen foreclosure times or introduce new regulatory requirements regarding foreclosure procedures, our operating costs could increase and we could be subject to regulatory action. 74. Regulatory agencies and consumer advocacy groups are becoming more aggressive in asserting claims that the practices of lenders and loan servicers result in a disparate impact on protected classes. 75. Government regulation of the internet and sales and marketing on the internet is evolving, and we may experience unfavorable changes in or failure to comply with existing or future regulations and laws. Better 41#42Better Summary of Risks Risks related to ownership of our common stock 76. There may not be an active trading market for our common stock, which may make it difficult to sell shares of our common stock. 77. Future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress the price of our common stock. 78. The price of our common stock may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your common stock at or above the initial public offering price or at all. 79. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq. 80. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us or our business, the price of our common stock and trading volume could decline. 81. We have broad discretion in the use of the proceeds from this proposed transaction and may not use them effectively. 82. Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the market price of our common stock. 83. Our amended and restated bylaws that will become effective upon the closing of this proposed transaction provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or team members. 84. Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third- party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us. 85. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. 86. Taking advantage of our “emerging growth company" reduced reporting requirements may make our common stock less attractive to investors. 87. We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, stockholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, and the trading price of our common stock. 88. Our financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 has not been audited, is preliminary and subject to change. None of our historical financial information has been audited in accordance with PCAOB standards. As a result, our revenues, expenses and profitability for these periods are subject to uncertainty and may differ materially from the amounts set forth herein. We cannot assure you that such financial information would not be materially different if such information had been audited in accordance with PCAOB standards. 89. Our management team has limited experience managing a public company. 90. Our issuance of capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our equity incentive plans or otherwise would dilute all other stockholders. 91. Transformation into a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act and the listing standards of Nasdaq may strain our resources, increase our costs, divert management's attention and disrupt the regular operations of our business, and we may not be able to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost- effective manner. 42 42#43Thank You Better
